Chapter 38

As Eden arrived at the meeting spot, he noticed two girls waiting for him by the fountain. Reina and Yuikana were there, while Ruri seemed to be running late. Reina sported a more tomboyish outfit, wearing a T-shirt and cutoff jean shorts which looked good with her tomboyish athenic seeing that she had short blonde hair. while Yuikana was dressed in a black sweater and skirt which looked good due long purple hair. Approaching them, he waved, and both of them glanced at him for a while before jogging over."Hey, Eden, sorry for Ruri; she can be such an airhead sometimes," Reina apologized for her friend.

"It's fine. I have nowhere to be today. By the way, what did you want to do? I wanted to shop for some clothing before we head to our destination," he said, looking at her.

"That's fine," Reina answered. "Oh, and you guys can get whatever you want. We can try on clothes together."

"Oh, that's fine. I'm not much into fashion," Reina said.

"I will gladly take you up on the offer," Yuikana said, joining the conversation.

"Yuikana, are you into fashion? I usually go to Agent or Uniqlo, but we can check out Sugar. I've never been because it's mostly women's fashion," Eden admitted. Before his reincarnation, he knew nothing about fashion in general, especially not high-end Japanese clothing stores. However, now being a very wealthy and attractive person living in Japan, he had gotten into Japanese fashion, even if some of the clothes he wanted did not fit him due to his larger size compared to most Japanese men. But the fix for that was simple: money. Large brands wanted rich people to spend money in their shops, especially if the rich person was attractive and connected to the world's largest gold company. So, talking to owners and branch managers of the brands Eden frequented to ensure they always had things in his size and style was easy. In certain stores, he even had personal changing rooms reserved, just in case he dropped by. This demonstrated the significant amount of money he would spend each time he visited these stores.

"Really? I've been to Sugar a couple of times with Ruri since her family is on the wealthier side, but I've never really bought much there," Reina confessed.

"I've never been there either, but first, we should go to Vasi since they have men's and women's clothing. Then we can head to Sugar," Eden suggested.

"That's great, thanks," Yukina said with a smile. While Yukina and Eden talked about fashion, occasionally having to explain things to Reina when she asked, Ruri finally arrived.

"Hello, I'm here. Sorry for being late," Ruri greeted the group.

Ruri was wearing a white sundress. "Its find me and Yukina was just talking about where we were going to be shopping" After saying that he filled her in on the plans for the day. "I can pay for myself its fine" "No,we its fine I would hate for you to feel weird having to pay for yourself and I pay for Reina and Yukina" After chatting for a while, Eden managed to persuade her to do it his way, especially after sharing how much he usually spent when shopping for clothes. Afterward, he instructed Hisato to call the manager at Vasi and inform them that Eden was on his way. The manager, a woman named Akie Aasmi, had hit it off with Eden from their first meeting since she earned a commission, and Eden enjoyed making purchases. He also told Hisato to inquire if she had the contact information for the person who managed Sugar, a high-end Japanese women's clothing store.

With those tasks completed, he settled into the limo and let the girls inside. "Wow, you're rich; not even Ruri has ever taken us places in a limo," one of them remarked.

"Yeah, this car is impressive; most Japanese limos aren't like this," Eden replied. "I had it imported. Most of my nicer cars are imports." During the short drive, they engaged in casual conversation.

After parking in a more secluded area, they walked to the mall, with Eden leading the way. On the upper floors of the mall, they found Vasi, a large but mostly empty store with a white interior displaying clothes. Outside the store stood a woman in a business outfit and skirt.

"Eden-sama, I thank you for your continued patronage," she greeted.

"Aasmi-san, no need to bow; as long as you have nice clothes in stock, I'll be here to buy them," Eden replied, introducing the girls. All of them, except Ruri, appeared somewhat uncomfortable with the surroundings.

"I've selected some outfits that I think you will enjoy, and Hisato-san told me that you had women with you this time, so I've chosen clothing that I believe would suit them as well," Aasmi explained.

After an hour and a half of shopping, Eden decided he had acquired enough for himself, with a total of around 65 million yen worth of clothing. Most of it was casual wear for home or casual outings, including a couple of black cotton T-shirts and a white fur twill blouse, a type of fur jacket. Despite his desire to continue shopping for himself, an employee informed him that the girls were ready, so he went to see what they had picked out.

Yukina had selected a few items but seemed reluctant to purchase more than one outfit due to the prices. However, the one thing she did choose was a black faux fur jacket and pants with white polka dots, which complemented her purple hair and tall figure.

Reina, on the other hand, hadn't found much in the past hour and a half. Eden decided to buy her a matching white fur twill blouse, tailored for women, along with matching pants. Trying them on together, they suited both Reina and her blonde hair well.

Ruri had also picked only a couple of items, but the one Eden really liked on her was a tan Cotton Gabardine Coat. He liked it so much that he bought one for himself, in the men's style, and another for Reina. The store only had them in tan, which looked good on Yukina, but Eden wanted it in black or a darker color for , so he placed an order and had Aasmi send it to his condo, where most of his clothing ended up. Eden also after looking at the things the girls got choose acople outfits he thought would look good on Ryoko using Reina as a model for the clothes since they had a similar vibe 

To be honest, Eden could have continued shopping, but Reina mentioned she was getting hungry, so they decided to head to a nice cafe he knew for a late lunch.
